Changelog

autopkgtest (5.30) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Christian Kastner ]
  * Set umask while initializing DebBinaries, fixing permissions errors
    when running virt-podman with a restrictive umask (Closes: #1032487)

  [ Helmut Grohne ]
  * virt-qemu: Use a lock file to resolve a race condition when allocating
    a port for ssh
  * build-{qemu,lxc}, buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Explicitly pass RELEASE to
    setup-testbed when known
  * build-qemu: Don't use ext4 features unsupported in the target release

  [ Jochen Sprickerhof ]
  * qemu: Better riscv64 support
    - Use -machine=virt on riscv64
    - Specify a riscv64-compatible network device for all architectures

  [ Stefano Rivera ]
  * build-lxd: Explicitly reuse aliases with lxd >= 5.14, which will no
    longer overwrite an existing alias by default

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * d/README.source: Add a policy for autopkgtest dependencies:
    - Host system: aiming to support latest Debian stable or Ubuntu LTS,
      and the previous stable/LTS if it's straightforward to do so
    - Testbed: aiming to support Debian 8+ or Ubuntu 14.04+
  * testbed: Use sudo -n true instead of sudo -n -v to detect
    ability to run sudo without password, resulting in it being detected
    successfully in more cases
  * testbed: Move more environmental setup into wrapper.sh
  * testbed: Factor out Perl code to parse dependencies
  * setup-testbed:
    - Remove code that was only needed for Ubuntu 12.04 on armhf
    - Only auto-detect RELEASE, MIRROR when necessary
  * tests:
    - Add a convenience `make check` target
    - Fix a failing qemu test
    - Run more tests in CI and during package build
    - d/tests/lxd: Fix test failure by installing recommended dnsmasq-base
      package
    - d/tests/lxd: Use stable image, fixing testing while
      images.linuxcontainers.org doesn't provide an image for trixie yet
    - Remove stale reference to SchrootClickRunner tests, which were removed
      in mid 2022
    - CI: Use testing instead of unstable, to avoid temporary regressions
      such as #1042498
    - CI: Test the unshare backend on stable instead of unstable
    - CI: Run basic tests on Debian 11
  * Fix some shellcheck warnings

  [ Paride Legovini, Simon McVittie ]
  * testbed: Install satdep using apt-get install /path/to/*.deb if possible
    (apt >= 1.1, available in Debian 9+ or Ubuntu 16.04+), falling back to
    using dpkg --unpack and apt-get -f install as before for Debian 8 and
    Ubuntu 14.04

  [ Gioele Barabucci ]
  * lib/VirtSubproc: Use explicit paths for commands in downtmp,
    fixing testbed failure if the default shell is changed to busybox
    during testing

  [ Antonio Terceiro ]
  * Add --timeout option, which sets a global timeout for all commands
    that are controlled by the source package being tested
    (the build if the needs-build restriction is present, and the tests
    themselves).

  [ Raphaël Hertzog ]
  * debian: Depend on mawk >= 1.3.4 for systime() function, required
    since 5.29
